Hi everyone. If you’re like me, you probably want to run a few expert advisors here and there. However, not everyone wants to leave their PC running all the time to do this. There is a solution, but of course it’s going to cost you. I’ve been hunting around the net for quite some time and came across a fairly cheap provider of Virtual Private Servers (VPS) that caters specifically to Forex traders like us. They even have some of their own EAs you can subscribe to for a reasonable fee. I haven’t really looked that much at their EA subscription offering but feel free to look into that if you’re interested. I was mainly interested in their VPS offering.
Here is what they’re offering (quote from their website):
64 bit Windows for maximum performance! [especially traders]
Windows Virtual Desktop hosted in a major US datacenter
Accessible from any Windows PC, Mac, web browser
or Windows Mobile Phone!Your programs keep running, even when your PC is shut off
High speed Internet to your desktop – even for dialup users
No maintenance at random hours
Subscription EA’s and/or upload your own!
24/7/365 support, trusted by subscribers in 67 countries
Virtual Desktop Feature & Security Pack for FREE!
Virtual Private Server Detailed Specs:
- 384MB RAM
- 5G Hard Disk
- 5GB Backup Hard Disk
- 2.5x Power (CPU Share)
- 250 Processes
- Windows 2003 Enterprise Server 64 bit
- 2 Remote Desktop Sessions
- Online Trader Software Application Templates
MetaTrader, VTTrader, iqChart, Speed Trader, Mig Trading Station, TCNet…or install your own! - Dedicated IP Address
- Remote Desktop Sound & Printing Support
- Free .com/net/org Domain Registration
- Virtuozzo Power Panel Included
- Dual Firewalls
- ClamWin AntiVirus
- Virtual Desktop Feature & Security Pack
The price is a modest $30 per month.
They do have a “Power Edition” package but that’s gonna cost you $65 per month. I think for me (and probably for the rest of you) the $30/month package is good enough.
If you’ve got an EA that earns you over $30 per month (which I hope you do) then your forex earnings will pay for the VPS service easily. I intend to give this company’s services a try in the next few weeks or so.
